Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I’ll understand! (Chinese proverb)
Sounds like a principle right out of a teacher’s manual, doesn’t it? We need instruction and example, but we learn best by doing. And if we want to help others learn, we will need to tell, show, and give them opportunities to do some hands-on work.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. (Philippians 4:9)
